Hi all,
I found a bug in the FreeBSD kernel today(it's 4.2-STABLE, cvsupped today).
It is related to kevents and the umount -f option(forcibly unmounting of a
filesystem).
The bug is easily reproducible by running this simple shell script:
#/bin/sh
while true
do
mount /cdrom
Hi,
Sure, it can. See my GNU Portable Threads under
http://www.gnu.org/software/pth/. We have a port under devel/pth,
too. It bases its user-land threads on ucontext(3) if available or on
setjmp(3)'s jmp_buf, etc. All without any assembler things. For details

Hi Dan,
I have implemented {make,get,set,swap}context as library routines
for FreeBSD. They're gathering dust somewhere and need a bit of
polishing. If you give me some time I can dust them off and
send them to you.
I would really appreciate if I could get my hands on this code.
Could you
Hi,
are there any plans to implement makecontext() friends
functions in FreeBSD?
Is there any other way to implement user-level threads?
(I know it can be done in assembler, but this is not
portable)
Using pthreads is not an option for me, although pthreads
are implemented as userlevel

Hi,
There's no reason to use softupdates and async together. SU gets you
the same benefits, but much more safely.
You are right... I thought async was only for data updates, not metadata
too...
Thanks for clearing this out...
As I understand SU, it's just a method to do metadata
